1 | Put a saucepan of water on high heat. When it boils, tip in 200 g rice. | |
2 | Leave to cook for about 5 minutes, then drain. | |
3 | Pour 1 litre whole milk and 100 g maple syrup into a large non-stick pan and bring up to a simmer. | |
4 | Add the pre-cooked rice and mix well (with a soft spatula, for instance).
Turn the heat down to minimum and leave to cook gently and thicken. | |
5 | Every time a skin forms on the surface (which is quite normal), simply mix this in. | |
6 | Continue cooking until the rice pudding is smooth and fairly thick. | |
7 | Take off the heat and add 100 g maple syrup. | |
8 | Mix one last time and your Canadian-style rice pudding is ready. | |
9 | Put into ramekins for individual servings. | |
It is important to add the maple syrup in two stages to give the rice pudding the full benefit of its flavour.
If you'd like even more flavour, you can increase the quantity of maple syrup added the second time.
